The workbench includes a fully integrated configurator for
Brodersen remote I/Os, using the Brodersen's IOTOOLS interface at
runtime. Please refer to the following topics in that page for
detailed information on how to use and configurate Brodersen
I/Os:

The T5 runtime manages a intermediate variable map representing
Brodersen IOTOOLS inputs and outputs. A dedicated configuration
tool is integrated in the Workbench. Run it using the "Tools /
Fieldbus Configuration" menu command from the main window. Then
select the "IOTOOLS" tab.

(*) The items with this mark can appear several times in the
configuration.

Configuration:

You need to configurate the networks in order to map I/Os from
IOTOOLS to variables.

Run the "Edit / New master" to declare a new IOTOOLS
network. Each network is identified by a number according to
IOTOOLS conventions, and a free description text.

When a network is selected, you can insert IOTOOLS nodes by
running the "Edit / New slave" menu command. For each node you need
to enter a number according to IOTOOLS conventions and a free
description text.

Now you have to map variables to the possible remote I/Os. Use
the "Edit / New variable" command to insert a variable in the
selected slave or diagnostic block.When you insert a variable under
a node, the following items must be entered:
- the symbol of the variable
- the type of I/O (DI / DO / AI / AO / YI / YO) according to
IOTOOLS conventions
- the module number according to IOTOOLS conventions
- a bit number (from 0 to 15) in case of a digital I/O
- a range (min / max) for the variable,
- corresponding to a signal range (min / max) for the physical
I/O

Data types:

You can freely map a variable of any data type to an
I/O. The runtime automatically converts the value to the type of
the variable. STRING variables are not supported.
